Electromechanical Test Benches

Electromechanical test benches are an essential part of modern development, validation, and quality assurance processes. They enable precise testing of electrical, mechanical, and mechatronic components under realistic operating conditions. From electric motors and actuators to gearboxes, drive units, and complete assemblies, electromechanical test benches are used to verify performance, durability, safety, and reliability.

To achieve accurate measurement results and ensure safe testing procedures, high-performance drive components are essential. Miki Pulley shaft couplings, electromagnetic brakes, spring-actuated safety brakes, and torque limiters provide precise torque transmission, controlled load simulation, and reliable protection for both test benches and test specimens.
